[quote]Upset, dismayed and evidently feeling a little left out by the global embrace of the gay pride flag following the US Supreme Court ruling legalising same-sex marriage, Vladimir Putin's United Russia Party has hit back against with their own "straight" flag.

While homosexuality is not illegal in Russia, Mr Putin introduced a law in 2013 that bans symbols which promote "non-traditional" values.

Therefore, in response to the LGBT movement's rainbow flag, the United Russia Party unveiled a banner celebrating the traditional, nuclear Russian family. The flag depicts two parents - a woman and a man - holding hands with three children.

With putin's defence policies, Russian families may become more "nuclear" than they'd like.

So far i see few families in Russia (at least - in Moscow, in Chechnya - may be) with three children. Usually - no more then 2, frequently - 1..

Wishful thinking as part of Putin's desperate bid to raise Russia's abysmal birth rate, I guess.

In fact - it rose somewhat compared to abysmal numbers in crisis 90th. But not too much, and mostly among "minorities"...

Looks like an even more wish-washier version of the UN flag.

Disrespectful to heterosexuals, as it reduces heterosexual love to mechanical baby-making.
